Just a guess here Dave, but me thinks this not based on mere conjecture?

I must insist, at this point, on photographs, if only of the deck. The only boat I've even been aboard that comes close to this standard was a Wally 80.

What is Daddle sailing these days?

This Santa Cruz 50 sports a clean a deck like that Wally 80. Restoration from the clutter created by the PO was not trivial, but was well worth the effort in sleek looks and friendlyness to the feet.

In the tropics, no one was allowed to step on my boat with shoes or flip-flops or slippers on.

Now sailing through the winter in Korea the rules have been relaxed somewhat.
